ORCHESTRA is a NERC-funded Long Term Science programme that involves scientists from many NERC Centres. This 5 year project began in spring 2016 and will use a combination of data collection, analyses and computer simulations to radically improve our ability to understand and predict the circulation of the Southern Ocean and its role in the global climate, with particular emphasis on the way that the Southern Ocean absorbs and stores heat and carbon.
This Collection provides the outputs of innovative model runs of the 1/12 degree Nucleus for European Modelling of the Ocean (NEMO) model of the Southern Ocean carried out within the project
